Stop exhaling if you believe CO2 is a dangerous pollutant.
This season has been average.
You want a bad year for Hurricanes, try 1969, and it was more than just Camille.
Because Obama was no longer the President and Hillary wasn’t Elected POTUS. Duh...
I’ll take ‘Climate Change’ for $100, Alex..................
Gee. Kind of the way employment, poverty levels, and homelessness go up and down depending on how we "define" them. When things are going good for liberal POS organizations such as National Geographic, you never hear them fiddling around with how those things are defined.
How I despise liberalism.
Conditions aligned to contribute to good conditions for hurricane production and sustainability. Who knew this sort of thing could happen?
Talking about loads of hot air...
When you read this carefully you can conclude:
This guy has some doubts about Climate Change dogma but is too scared to speak publicly about it.
He temporizes that SOME of this COULD be climate change
Then says the future MIGHT bring more hurricane issues because of climate change.
To sum it up, it might or it might not . . . time will tell . . . I want to keep my job . . .
Hurricanes are an ingenious part of our system.
I like cream and sugar in my coffee. It’s always better if I stir it.
It's interesting and telling that those "scientists" weren't named. I laughed at the use of the wiggle-words "almost certainly" in the quote. Remember when NG used to be scientifically credible?
Let me guess the answer to the question: GLOBAL WARMING/CLIMATE CHANGE/TRUMP
One of the three or all of three?
Okay time to read the article to see if the hypothesis is correct.
Uh, because the chaotic atmosphere made so many hurricanes make landfall in the US?
Where’s my Nobel Prize?
I love how “scientists” say that hurricanes are ultimately somebody’s fault because climate-blah-blah, but “wild fires” are somehow these spontaneous and unpredictable natural events that can’t be controlled, contained, or prevented. (People often start them through arson or careless—and are therefore “man-made”—but folks don’t like to be reminded of that.)
10 to 12 year cycles. Just like cold snaps. Just like heat waves. Just like hurricanes and cyclones. Just like el nino and la nina.
The solar cycle dictates the weather of our planet.
We have absolutely ZERO control over solar output.
We are currently in between ice ages here on earth.
Enjoy the warmth while it lasts, because 100-10,000 years from now, most of the planet will be under a mile of ice or more.
12-year hurricane cycle most likely related to the ~11-year sun spot cycle, which is the principle driver of cyclic climate events:

I love the sentence referring to NOAA, CSU, and the Weather Channel all being accurate in forecasting that THIS season would be more active than average! LOL! They have predicted an above average season each year for as long as I can do remember. They were bound to be right eventually. It doesn’t mean they know what they are talking about.
What they are about is “agenda driven” science. (A phrase I first heard used by a poster here on FR).
I thought it was because PRESIDENT Trump pulled out of the Fiasco In Paris and it pissed off the hurricane gods.
The hurricane season is not over yet. It’s premature to be calling any “count” for 2017 any kind of record, or non-record.
Any discussion of Hurricane/Typhoon/Cyclone activity needs to note all basins and what basins are experiencing unusual activity and which are not. It also needs to address year over year changes.
Sheesh! They almost got through this without invoking the #FakeScience of Climate Change.
"It's complicated ..." meaning; "It's really hard to weave utter BS into a normal narrative of real meteorological science,... but here's the razzle dazzle we came up with!"
